Answers

Answer:

This writing is a work of historical fiction. It is set during Greek times, and it is centered on mytho policies.

There are several excerpts in this piece that show it has a mockery tone, some, more than others.

  • " Many  singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amidst excretion and abuse from the platform? "
  • " The low note was grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog.
Answer 2
Answer: I would say the last sentence shows mockery the best: "Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform." However, there might be others as well, such as: "The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog."
